Have you entered the “Knock Knock” phase yet? We are firmly entrenched in it but most of the jokes the kids tell make no sense.
One of our favorite things while we’re driving lately is making up and telling jokes. The kids LOVE when I will teach them jokes and listen to their jokes. They practice so they can tell their friends.
A few of our favorite jokes around here are:
- Why did the rooster cross the road? ……………..The chicken was on vacation!”
- “Knock knock…………..Who’s there?……….. Ach…………..Ach who?………….. Bless you! You sneezed!”
- “Knock knock………… Who’s there?……….. Woo………….. Woo who?……….What are you so excited about?”
- What do you get when you cross Bambi with a ghost?……………BamBOO!
- What’s brown and sticky?……………A stick!!
Ok, your turn- what kid friendly joke do you love?

We are a huge fan of knock knock jokes! Although, my son is currently in the stage of wanting to make up his own that make no sense whatsoever and he wants to tell them constantly. It’s sweet and he finds them hilarious, and I do a pretty good job at pretending.. but I’m always glad to add to the arsenal of knock knock jokes that actually make sense.
I loved the jokes you listed. He loved them too! Thank you for sharing them with us. I have previously posted some of our favorite corny jokes. Here’s the link if you’d like to take a look…

Why was the skeleton afraid of crossing the road?
He didn’t have any guts.
Knock knock–>who’s there?–> panther–>panther who?–>my panther(pants are) falling.
Knock knock–>who’s there?–>banana–>banana who?–>repeat the joke from the beginning one or two more times then the next time say orange instead of banana–> orange who?–orange(aren’t) you glad I didn’t say banana?

He wanted to see time fly.
What’s a cow’s favorite thing to do?

How do you catch a polar bear? Cut a hole on the ice and put peas around the hole. When he comes up to take a pea, you kick him in the ice hole!
We are heading out for a road trip to a cabin in the north, so I have been making a list of activities to keep my kids busy in the van. I’ve collected a list of jokes to teach them while we drive. Ellen’s website has a great list of jokes (lots of kid appropriate) for her classic joke monday segment. Here’s one that we love….why did the banana go to the hospital? Because he wasn’t peeling good.
Why is 6 afraid of 7 ? Because 7, 8, 9! (7 ate 9)
